Bovine scathology at it's finest.Drawing from social comparison theory, people try to compare themselves to people they believe are above them. The reason people are hating on RG3 is that he beats them in most categories: rich, young, athletic, successful, educated. One of the ways they can feel better about their self-worth is by focusing on a category they think they are above RG3: their level of connectedness to their race, or in other words, their level of "blackness".
It's similar to women and how they compare themselves to supermodels. Supermodels represent the ideal level of beauty but normal women realize that they can't reach that level. In order to feel better about themselves, they come up multiple reasons/excuses to explain the difference.
All of it.
